Good Job Haiku! No doubt koi pond requires intensive care to survive a minor carelessness can suffer them in trouble. Frequent mistake people do is; install low quality Pond Liner. Low quality pond liner contain chemical. This can be harmful for them.click here for technicals
ReplyDeleteTo remain alive or in existence of koi becomes difficult in very low temperature.Clean water, suitable temperature and a pond liner which does not contain harmful chemical like EPDM Pond Liner Repair is required .
